Exploring A Pizza Love Flavour Revolution

Remember South Africa’s Roman’s Pizza? They kicked off as Little Caesar’s way back in ’93 and were the spot for those legendary “two in one” deals.

Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, bringing all sorts of lockdown headaches, and sadly, those famous discounts got totally sliced from the menu.

Those times basically turned the whole pizza industry into a wild topping battleground. Suddenly, your classic favorites were locking horns with some seriously adventurous newcomers like fruit, aloe vera, caramelized onions, and yep, even insects. Crazy.

Despite all that madness, the game of pizzas just keeps marching on! It’s armed to the teeth with awesome DIY recipes, super versatile ingredients, and this totally insatiable appetite for innovative toppings (and, let’s be real, a whole lot of melted cheese).

Always remembered, always loved, miss you daily, Mom.

Pondering about the humble necktie? Those strips of fabric originating from 17th century Croatian mercenaries elevated by King Louis XIII to royal accessory status?

Lads, next time you tie one on, remember it’s not just fashion, it’s history against your Adam’s apple!

Electricity in South Africa: History and Current Challenges

Tracing South Africa’s electrifying history from early telegraph usage in 1860 to today’s frequent blackouts and soaring prices, it’s clear that Eskom’s in a pickle. From being the pioneer of bright ideas, like illuminating railways in 1881, to now juggling load-shedding schedules, Eskom seems to be stuck in a dark loop. Between large-scale corruption, non-payment issues, and an overburdened middle class, South Africa’s power crisis isn’t flipping the switch anytime soon.
